Additional features include Ethernet through feed capability, infrared (IR) control through feed and RS232 through feed capability between the interface and breakouts. Note that these are through feeds only and have no direct control function of the Leaf True system.
LT2020E front panel 2.1 HDBase T Connections Each Leaf True breakout is connected to the interface by way of a single Cat5e/6/6a four pair cable to the HDBaseT output or zone ports across the lower part of the front panel.
2.2 Ethernet Ports The Ethernet ports across the upper part of the front panel of LT2020E are for optional connection of Ethernet facilities for direct routing to remote Ethernet ports at each LTB1E breakout. The Ethernet connection is 100Base-T full duplex. An external Ethernet router / switch may be added for added flexibility and performance.
3 Rear panel layout: The LT2020E rear panel has the following fittings as depicted below. 1. 1 x RS232 serial control input connector 2. 1 x RS232 serial control out (loop thru) connector 3. 16 x RCA S/PDIF (digital coax) audio input sockets 4.
3.1 RJ12 control port The 6 wire RJ12 port enables the LT2020E to be controlled by a proprietary LEAF controller such as the TC3. 3.2 4 way DIP switch module The rear panel accessible 4 position DIP switch controls functionality of the LT2020E.
Zone 16. The IR ports support direct connection and drive of Leaf “hammerhead” and other compatible 5 volt, 3 wire (Tip Ring Sleeve / stereo plug) IR detectors to Leaf LB41 and other compatible 2 wire (mono plug) IR blasters.
RJ45 connectors. These are for optional use by external RS232 equipment. Connection from these ports to RS232 equipment would typically be achieved through the use of RJ45 to DB9 RS232 adaptor leads. Leaf Audio has suitable RJ45 to RS232 (DB9) Female adaptor leads (LT45DB9Female) available for sale. Male DB9 RS232 connection may require the additional of M-M gender bender(s).
3.10 HDMI Input ports Standard HDMI input ports are provided for the purpose of connecting HDMI sources. They are labelled 1 to 20. All Leaf True systems accord with the HDMI 1.4 specification and includes support of 3D formats. Leaf LT2020E manual...
4 BREAKOUTS A Breakout is the “receiving end” of the Leaf True system and one is required for each connected HDBaseT “zone” of the Leaf True system. The Leaf LTB1E is the required breakout for this system. 4.1 Local Power...
LED 1 FLASHING (heartbeat) = The local 12V DC power supply is connected and active. LED 2 ON = The HDBaseT Cat5e / Cat6 cable link to the LT2020E has been made successfully and is ready for video. LED 3 ON = Protected (HDCP) video content is being transferred on the HDBaseT link.
. When a sink is switched to a source the LT2020E remembers its EDID. After a calibration, or each time new sinks are switched, the combination or merge of this sink EDID and previously switched sink EDIDs is calculated and stored for use thereafter until power off or recalibration.
Digital Coax (S/PDIF) (1-16) audio input connectors on the LTB1E Breakouts Digital Coax (S/PDIF) (up to 16) audio input connectors on the LT2020E to be routed to the Stereo RCA analog output connectors on the LT2020E. The source range for the selected audio inputs under this feature becomes:...
